NECKTlE-FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,224, dated January 12, 1886.

Application filed October 22, 1885. Serial No. 180,598.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a necktiev with myimproved fastener applied. Fig. 2 is a detailed perspective view of the fastener, and Fig. 3 is a central transverse section of the fastener.

Similar letters of reference indicate the same parts in the different figures of the drawings.

The object of my invention is to provide an effective device for retaining neckties worn with standing collars.

My invention consists in a plate slotted twice to receive a necktie, and having a forked arm bent over parallel with the slotted portion to receive the collar-button, the arms of the fork being at right angles with the slots of the body of the plate. I

The retainer is formed of a plate having an oblong rectangular part, a, in which are formed slots 1) b, and a forked arm, 0, projecting from one edge thereof and bent over parallel with the part a, the arms (Z (Z of the fork being approximately at right angles with the slots 1) b, there being sufficient space between the arms (2 and part a to receive the head of the collar-button. The tie B, in connection with (N0 model.)

which the retainer is used, is passed through one of the slots 12 and over the bar a, and is 5 tied in the usual way, the forked arm 0 being passed under the head of the collar-button f, or under both the collar and the head of the button, with the arms (1 d on opposite sides of the stem of the button.

WVhen the necktie and retainer are in place, the head of the collarbuttonfwill be below the portion of the tie which lies over the bar 6, as shown in Fig. 3.

My improved fastener may be made of sheet metal, being stamped and formed in the ordinary well-known Way; or it may be made of wire in substantially the same form as that shown in the drawings.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A necktie-fastener formed of a plate having an oblong rectangular part, a, provided with parallel slots 1) b, forming in the body of the plate the bar 6, and the forked arm 0, formed integrally with the body of the fastener and bent over parallel with the face of the fastener with the forks of the arm approximately at right angles with the slots (2 b and bar 6, substantially as specified.
